The Keyblade only lets a chosen wielder hold it, but those with the strength of heart to wield a Keyblade are able to give or take them from others, or take control of them if they have been abandoned. Those incapable of wielding a Keyblade cannot keep it, even if a wielder hands it to them. A wielder is able to summon or dispel their Keyblades at will. In ''Kingdom Hearts'', the Keyblade disappears until Sora starts attacking, while in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' and ''Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep'', it reappears as soon as the player approaches an enemy. In ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', the Keyblade appears when Roxas takes damage or begins attacking. In the manga, Sora keeps his Keyblade behind him, strapped to his belt.

However, it is implied that one can only wield a single Keyblade at a time, even if they have possession of more than one. The exceptions to this rule are Sora and Roxas, who can wield two Keyblades at once and channel both their abilities, due to Sora harboring Ventus's heart.<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Ultimania]]''''', p. 617; '''Interviewer:''' "Why can Roxas dual-wield?" / '''Tetsuya Nomura:''' "Sora can wield two Keyblades at once because he has Ventus's as well as his own. As Roxas is a part of Sora, he also can use two. In ''Days'', Roxas awakened his ability to dual wield after fighting Xion. In ''KHII'', once Sora absorbs him, he can also dual-wield."

This is often done through the [[Bequeathing]], but can also be performed informally when the wielder lets a candidate touch their Keyblade, or if their hearts link together.

In ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', Terra chose Riku to be his successor, while Aqua accidentally made Kairi a successor when the child touched Aqua's Keyblade. Aqua originally considered choosing Sora to be her successor, but decided against it because Terra had already performed the ritual on Riku, and she did not want to cause the two to fight. However, Sora nonetheless gained the ability to use the Keyblade when Ventus's heart fused with his own.
